“We apologize for this error and invite you to correct your statement. “It’s a funny email received this Thursday, thousands of officials if not hundreds of thousands. Due to an error made by the administration, the 2022 income statement, to be entered from April 13 until the end of the month only for certain households, contains errors concerning overtime. They can inflate the tax liability.
“Incorrect information has been noted on your pre-filled declaration”, confirms the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP) in an explained note sent to officials and published online on its website. “The change in tax-exempt overtime regulations was misapplied and/or an advance payment made on November 28, 2022 was not included in your taxable income,” she continues.
Concretely, the administration – by completing the tax declarations of its employees – “forgot” to raise the ceiling for tax exemption for overtime from 5,000 to 7,500 euros, as Parliament voted for the year 2022 In other words: the “victims” who performed more than 5,000 euros of overtime last year saw the amount above this bar pass into taxable income. Wrongly.
How to correct your statement?
Are thus concerned “State agents, all ministries combined, who benefited in 2022 from the payment of overtime”, indicated to West France the DGFiP. This would concern “a few tens of thousands of civil servants”, she continues. If you received a deposit on November 28, 2022, you may be affected. The email to inform public service employees, however, might be sent to many more people.
The DGFiP specifies that it is possible to correct its declaration (whether it has already been submitted or not) by modifying the amounts entered under the headings “wages and salaries” (1AJ or 1BJ) and “exempt overtime” (1GH or 1HH). In the first box, you must indicate the amount “which must correspond to the remuneration received in 2022 excluding exempt overtime”, obtained from the tax certificate provided by your employer. In the second box, simply fill in the net amount of exempt overtime (which corresponds to the gross amount of exempt overtime, entered on the tax certificate, multiplied by 0.93319).
This change is not insignificant for the officials concerned since it will logically allow a reduction in taxable income and will lead to a reduction in the total amount of tax.
